    Shock Stock is an invaluable experience as an event. Part film festival, part horror convention, part non-stop party - it's an incredible slurry of freaks and friends held at a venue kubrick would die for. Everything about this festival was perfect, and the love shared by coordinators, staff, filmmakers, tablers, and fans was palpable. It was my first year and felt extremely welcome. The kind of place you could go to anyone for help and they'd find some way to assist. Excited for next year!

    Absolutely amazing festival, I can’t say enough great things about the event itself or the people who run it or the festival fan base. I spent all three days there and saw some great films and met some of the most dedicated and loyal Horror fans I’ve ever met. What an honor for my film to have been selected to premiere at Shock Stock and the fact that we won two awards was just the icing in the cake!
